The IBM System i5 team has put together
some background information on why the combination of Lotus Domino and
IBM System i5 is a better alternative than Exchange "12" for
current Microsoft customers...

With the increasing need
for round-the-clock access, many companies are looking for improvements
in reliability, availability, and security. System i and Lotus Domino offer
solutions to help address these business needs. Organizations, large and
small, continue to migrate to Lotus Domino from Microsoft Exchange. Between
January 2004 and December 2005, nearly 3,000 customers migrated from Microsoft
Exchange and other email and messaging platforms to Lotus Notes and Domino.
Some of them utilize IBM System i as a 64-bit-capable hardware platform.
Compelling reasons for migration cited by IBM clients include complete
collaborative environment, advanced security features, high reliability
and availability, platform choice and flexibility, and opportunities for
investment protection and decreased cost of ownership.
